- TERMS OF USE AND
DISCLAIMER --
PLEASE ALSO READ WARNING ABOUT CHAT-ROOM USE
BELOW. THIS ROOM IS NO LONGER
MODERATED : (updated 5/1/2015)
- Live, real time chat on the subjects of: bodybuilding, weightlifting, powerlifting, weight-training, fitness, sports training, diet, supplements, etc.
- Chat for free - there will never be any payment
required
- Just type in any user_name and start chatting
- For best response from other members keep your user
name bodybuilder and gender oriented such as: "Iron_Mike",
"Sweet_Muscles", or "Ripped_Rachel", etc. Please do
NOT choose names with blatant sexual innuendos or names that are
just plain inappropriate as not only will that invite ridicule from
other users but may also result in your being expelled from the chatroom.
This room is meant to be about bodybuilding and related fitness
activities, not personal fetishes or trolling for cyber sex so don't
misuse it.
- Private messaging as well as video and
voice chats are very popular in this bodybuilding discussion forum but
don't be afraid to chat in the main room as that's where the best
conversations on exercise and fitness take place.
- You should be 18+ years-old to use this chatroom.
However, that does not relieve adult users from keeping their language
and conversation topics polite and bodybuilding oriented. Because there
is no way of reliably screening users for their age in this chat-room
there is a really good chance that you're talking to an underage kid in
here and responsible adults should refrain from entering conversations
of a sexual nature. Remember that the anonymous person on the other end
of your conversation may not only be a child but could easily be law
enforcement looking to arrest online predators and you don't want to put
yourself in a position like that - this NO joke today. Sending sexually
explicit messages to a minor is a felony and punishable by up to 20
years in prison in many places so DON'T DO IT.
- This is a very old and
well-established bodybuilding chat-room that
has risen to the top of the internet with many serious bodybuilders as
regular visitors - you definitely won't be alone as this number one
chat room fills up daily with diversified people from all over the
world. Embrace that diversity as it is what makes our world an
interesting place. If you can't be polite to people who are
different from yourself then you should leave the chat room and likewise
people should not try to push their point of view or lifestyle on
others. If two people disagree in here on any topic rather than
continue to argue about it just agree to disagree and move on.
- Enjoy yourself but above all - be polite - everyone
is here to have fun with chat. If you get harassed by a troll, simply find
their name in the list on the right, left click, and put them on
"ignore" and they won't be able to reply to you anymore.
Remember that if you encounter a conversation in this chatroom that you
do not like you can always exercise your right to simply leave the
room immediately. We are NOT responsible for content posted by chat-room users, nor
do their views and opinions represent ours. It is also your
responsibility to protect yourself by leaving as this chatroom will no
longer be moderated. ENTER AT YOUR OWN
RISK.
- Just because our chat-room
has an "ignore" feature does not give anyone a free license to be a
troll in here. The point of this chatroom is to have as many
people as possible freely exchanging ideas about bodybuilding in the
main room and no one should be made to feel too intimidated to join the
discussion. Insulting or harassing
other users is absolutely not allowed and if you enjoy being a keyboard
warrior for entertainment it will likely get you banned from the chat
room sooner or later. It won't matter who started trolling first
because if you get caught joining in on a group harassment of someone
you will be banned right along with the leader. You will also find
that arguing with or giving the Administrator attitude will only end one
way -- with you being immediately ejected and banned for any period of
time that the administrator deems appropriate including permanently. This room is NOT a
democracy so don't expect it to work like one as there are no appeals,
either follow our rules or go elsewhere - we won't miss you. This chatroom
is our property and we only allow you the privilege of using this free
service solely at our discretion and we reserve the right to deny any
user access to it at anytime without notice and without further
explanation. We no longer use visible moderators but will often
have our people in here as regular users who either participate in
conversations or just observe and you will never know who they are until
you cross the line and start trolling.
There won't be anymore warnings given prior to being ejected; you'll
just suddenly find yourself locked out if you continue to violate our
rules. -- Chat Administrator
- We can only do so much to make this chat room an
enjoyable place to hang out as in the end it is YOU the user who will
actually make or break this place by how you conduct yourself. If
you have questions you can email us at
admin@ericsgym.com
. Please do NOT call our main office as the people working in the
exercise equipment business have nothing to do with the operation of the
chat room.
